La Bu 123

1 Van a alaltouna a tou O ka Pathen Elohim nangma munomna in kadah'in kahinvei.

A Song of Ascents. Unto thee do I lift up mine eyes, O thou that sittest in the heavens.

2 Sohten amit uva apupao avetjing bangun Yahweh Pakai, iPathen'u Elohim khotona ngaichan keihon kahin vejing ui. Hiti hin soh nungah honjong api'u chaloh akivetgeu jingun ahi.

Behold, as the eyes of servants [look] unto the hand of their master, As the eyes of a maid unto the hand of her mistress; So our eyes [look] unto Jehovah our God, Until he have mercy upon us.

3 Yahweh Pakai ka chung u vah khotona neipeuvin ajeh chu keiho hi vetda changsa ka hiuve.

Have mercy upon us, O Jehovah, have mercy upon us; For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

4 Ajeh chu keihohi mi kiletsahho housetna leh mikhoh ho tai tomnan eichupmu ahitai.

Our soul is exceedingly filled With the scoffing of those that are at ease, And with the contempt of the proud.
